Hello all,
We have tried in vain to apply update 2 to BDS2006 after installation and
registration on Vista.
Has this problem been solved yet? I cannot find a mention in the newsgroups.

It is covered at http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin84.htm with two 
possible workarounds (both work for me).

What you should try, is to "run" the bds2006_en_arch_upd2.msp file "as 
administrator"...

Thank you Bob, and David,
I have made a few advances to getting the update installed now. A message
about
some system path not being found. But I should be able to sort it out.
Thank you for the assistance.

OK,Running a dos prompt as administrator and switching to the bds2006 4.0
directory where
the msp update file is and then running msiexec /p "bds2006_en_pro_upd2"
..... works.
It requires persistence, always something unexpected. Windows?
